Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Resist patching a failed seal with a tube from the DIY shop
  • Wipe joints with warm soapy water
  • Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
  • Watch for new gaps as the house dries out

Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers to help keep mould away.

Report failed sealant to the builder while you’re in the snagging period. Once it ends, the repair may be down to you.

About our new build mastic in Wadwick

New homes move as they dry out. Timber dries and shrinks, and baths and trays settle, so sealant that was laid quickly before handover often cracks. We’re often asked to deal with joints pulling apart as timber shrinks and sealant work across a run of new homes, across bathrooms & en suites, skirting & floors and kitchens.

Around Wadwick, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, so skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant rather than a rigid filler.

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?

If you’re still in the builder’s snagging or warranty period, ask them to put it right first. If it’s slow, or the same joint keeps failing, a proper reseal from a specialist is the next step. In a small place like Wadwick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When it is not the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Deciding who is responsible under a builder’s warranty
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes, which need a plumber
  • Broken tiles or a split tray

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface

Plot handovers

Good preparation at handover saves snagging later. Dust from the build is removed first and primer used where needed.

Skirting and floors

New homes often develop a gap between skirting and floor. A flexible sealant closes it without cracking like caulk.

The process

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours in a single home. Somewhere like Wadwick needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. First, the list of joints is agreed from your snagging sheet or plot schedule.
  2. Every bit of the old builder’s sealant is cut out, with no layer left behind.
  3. Joints are vacuumed and cleaned of building dust.
  4. Primer goes on where the surface and product need it, then the new sealant.
  5. We tool every joint neatly and tell you when each area can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Should I wait before resealing?

For failed seals that let water through, the best time is now. Cosmetic gaps can wait until the first year or two of movement has passed.

Can you match the sealant colour to my new kitchen or bathroom?

White and clear are the most common, but other colours are available. We match the colour to the finish.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

What affects the cost of new build mastic

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:

  • The product the joint needs
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether the work is at height

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What to tell us for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

  • What’s wrong with the joints now

Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
